Table 8-4 lists the Regular Expressions accepted in FTOS.
As seen in Figure 8-27, the expressions are displayed when using the
show commands. Use the show
config
command in the CONFIGURATION AS-PATH ACL mode and the show ip as-path-access-list
command in EXEC Privilege mode to view the AS-PATH ACL configuration.
For more information on this command and route filtering, refer to Filter BGP routes.
Redistribute routes
In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the BGP
process. With the
redistribute command syntax, you can include ISIS, OSPF, static, or directly connected
routes in the BGP process.
Use any of the following commands in ROUTER BGP mode to add routes from other routing instances or
protocols.
